Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  FLIPR Assay
Description:  HEK 293 Cells were grown in media containing DMEM, 10% FBS pen/strep/L-Glutamine and non-essential amino acids. The cells were plated in 384-well PDL coated plates at 12000 cells/well and incubated overnight at 37° C./5% CO2. Media was then removed from the cells, which were then incubated with buffer (Hank's containing HEPES and Chaps) containing FLIPR calcium-5 dye, made with buffer containing probenecid, for 60 minutes at 37° C. Varying concentrations of compound in a final concentration of 5% DMSO were then added to the cells and incubated at 25° C. for 30 minutes. The plates were then added to the FLIPR Tetra and the device added a concentration of a PAR1 selective receptor-activating peptide with the sequence Ala-parafluoroPhe-Arg-Cha-Cit-Try-Nh2 (prepared in water) at a concentration equal to the effective concentration that achieves 80% activation of signaling on the day of the experiment.
